Notes:
The result of ever-increasing pressure on world resources was a accelerated mass migration to the coastal zones of the world, where natural resources of the ocean and its continental shelves seemed to provide immediate relief. However, the increasing concentration of populations in the coastal zone created a demand for development of industrial processes to provide for their ever-growing needs, including nutritional requirements which encouraged further development of industrial processes to meet this basic need.
Nutritional requirements of humans double at the age of fourteen, and the bulk of world population growth occurs in the bracket from birth to teens. To meet the increasing nutritional requirements of the aging population, the response of further growth in industrial processes was the most effective solution available at the moment.
